French intelligence chief warns of terrorist attacks

PARIS, Nov. 23 (Xinhuanet) -- The director of French domestic intelligence agency (DST) warned Wednesday that some terrorist networks are preparing hostile projects against France.

..

According to him, part of the current threat could be traced to Iraq.

"For the past two years, at a fairly regular pace, we have seen young French nationals and French residents leaving for Iraq," he said.

"When they return, if they return, they are experienced and determined enough to represent a threat on our territory. We do not want France to become a land of jihad," he said.
